----Think I will be disappointed---Don't know a thing about construction but it is the same thing at Tulane as they do at the golf tourneys I have worked with Global Golf!!!Quote:

Your SIL is wrong boomer. Nobody puts up that type of structure temporarily but it fits your agenda with trashing Tulane so go for it.Quote:

This is similar to what will be installed at the Tigue. I won't argue the point of metal at Turchin other than to say it is more substantial than any temporary facility I've ever seen erected.Quote:

Right on the time of the pour. But the prep to pour is not at 6:AM....All the digging and forming is at 8:PM. Maybe some days sooner. Just saying the project is somewhat not as urgent as the end-zone at Cajun Field. Reason, unknown.....Quote:

---Oh this is not the part I was talking about ----the golf deal isn't nearly like this---the part I was referring to was smaller parts---Anyway I hope ours does look better!!!Quote:
